1972 Chevrolet Pickup 350 Chevy C10 on 2040-cars
Arlington, Texas, United States
|
1972 Chevy C10 long bed pickup with 350, automatic transmission, 3.73 12 bolt rear end, power steering and A/C cab (compressor is gone). The truck is currently my daily driver. The truck has spent its life here in Texas and was a true barn find. I have some of the original paper work dating back to September 1973, the truck was owned by the same family until I acquired it in 2010. There were no major floor or rocker panel rust issues when the truck was rescued from the barn. Since being pulled out of the barn the truck has received many improvements. Mechanical improvements include an Edelbrock intake and carb combo, one wire alternator, new gas tank, fuel sending unit, front rotors, rear drums and master cylinder. The truck was painted roughly 3 years ago in Zinc Yellow with a Pearl White roof, scallops on the hood are Pearl White with blue candy tips and green pinstriping. Custom glovebox art ties the truck's Texas Milk Barn history into the build of the truck. Body moldings have been shaved as well as the antenna and the seam in the roof to give the truck that smooth, sleek look. Chevy Rally Wheels have been added as well as the custom front bumper. The bumper is originally off an F100, with turn signals added in the bumper for that "72" look. Seat has been recovered and a Grant Wheel has been added in place of the original steering wheel. The dash pad has a few cracks, the door panels are missing the arm rest pads, there's no carpet and the glove box tray is missing. The front grille is painted to simulate a custom billet grille, but could use replacement (tabs are breaking - age related). There are a few areas that could still use some improvement. There's no bed floor, there's a minor oil leak and the rear differential seal is leaking slightly at the yolk. The dash lights don't light up when headlight switch is in the on position, when left turn signal is on gas gauge drops down until turn signal is off. Turn signal doesn't self cancel on left turns. Tires appear to be in good shape, but are old and it would probably be a good idea to replace them in the near future. As you can tell, I've described the truck with it's flaws as well as it's great points! If you like 72 Chevy pickups, this one will be a great truck with just a little bit of love from its new owner. It's as solid as a 42 year old truck could be!

C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey
Mon, 25 Feb 2013If you can't wait for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Hennessey says they will have you covered. The Texas-based company has announced it will offer a spate of upgrades for the 2014 Corvette ranging from a range of bolt-on options all the way up to a 1,000-horsepower, twin-turbo system. Buyers can start with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust or stainless steel long-tube headers, but Hennessey says it will also offer up three stages of forced induction mayhem should those bits and baubles not provide enough thrust.
Those choices start with a supercharger system good for up to 700 hp, though Hennessey will gladly ditch the blower in favor of two turbos. Doing so will spin the crank to the tune of 800 horsepower all the way up to a certifiably ludicrous 1,000 ponies. There's no word on how much these tricks will cost you - or when they will be available, as we're guessing they haven't gotten their hands on the car yet - but you can head over to the Hennessey site to drop them a line if you're curious.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

GM slashes prices in China as sales falter
Thu, May 14 2015Buying a vehicle from General Motors' stable of brands might be a lot cheaper in the near future – at least for customers in China. The effort comes as GM hopes to keep sales there growing, and the decision alludes to yet another sign that the Asian country no longer has the booming auto market of past years. GM and its Chinese joint venture partner SAIC are slashing prices by as much as the equivalent to $8,700 on 40 models from Buick, Chevrolet, and Cadillac, according to The Detroit News. Across all of automaker's nameplates, the overall sales dipped in China in April by 0.4 percent to 258,484 vehicles. Among the drops, Buick was down 8.5 percent, and Chevy shrunk 5.6 percent. Caddy's numbers increased 4.6 percent for the month, though. Buick remains a popular brand in the minds of Chinese consumers, but according to The Detroit News domestic automakers there are starting to eat into the dominance of foreign companies in the market. The country remains important for GM, though. Late last year, it outlined a future strategy that included China as a major pillar, including a $14 billion investment to build five new factories and boost sales.
